Before leading the field trip into the zoo, I thought it might be nice to introduce ourselves and talk about what our jobs were.
“That’s Lou,” I said to the children. “He knows all about giraffes. We call him, ‘The Giraffe Guy.’”
One of the children raised his hand.
“What do they call you?”
“I’m the Elephant Guy.”
“Oh, because you know all about elephants?”
“No, I think it’s more because my scrotum has ballooned into an unmanageable, volleyball-sized goiter.”
